New DW thread
I can't find the old destiny's way thread...I was at theforce.net site and they had a few spoilers in it something like...
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Jaina and Jag are in DW but not in same scenes....
Jaina and Kyp are in Dw in some of the same scenes....
Kyp and Jag are in Dw but in diff scenes
...a few more cryptic things like that and then he says that the reader should connect the dots any way they want to
the info supposedly came from the author of DW himself....
BTW that's Walter John Williams...I think.....anyway, this book is supposed to come out by Oct 1st

I just finished the book and it was very good. Finally the NJO makes sense again. I haven't been the biggest fan since SBS was so bad, but DW's was very good. I won't post spoilers unless asked. Some cool stuff does happen

It took me a couple hours to read. A lot of fun stuff happens so it was a quick read.

When did DW come out? I haven't seen it anywhere yet.
Probably because I never see any Hardbacks at Walmart.
I guess I'll have to go to Books-A-Million soon.

I finished Destiny's Way yesterday...and I must say that it is a very good book...as stuck up as Walter Jon Williams may seem in some interviews...the guy sure knows how to write and he does a marvelous job with the 14th book of the NJO series...
Corran, Lance, I suggest you both redouble your efforts to get ahold of a copy....

I doubt this review will have too many deep spoilers because I finished is about a week ago...but here goes anyways, ...never mind I lied...there are really big spoilers....
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: summary: Jacen Solo returns and Jaina Solo takes part in a massive attack. Jaina still wrestles with the thought that she's eventually gonna die. Jacen Solo takes a vacation of sorts. Luke reextablishes the Jedi Council. Mara is back doing what she does best. Jag Fel is off on some silly mission. Kyp Durron is older and wiser...
Supreme Overlord Shimmera is typical depsotic vile bad guy....Nom Anor's still a bumbling idiot...oh and a new bumbling idiot is introduced...
This book is definately a good read. It's exciting, and upbeat...so if you like the good guys to win...read destiny's way. Oh yea, destiny has something to do with the book  ....
I plan on rereading the entire NJO series, but I may reread DW twice...once soon...and once when the entire series is out. I also want to listen to it on tape. The action is great...the writing is good, and the characters are fairly well presented....

I still haven't gotten it.
I was promised it a couple months ago and still haven't even seen it.
My Wal-Mart supposedly has it, but when I went there to buy it (cause I had money and I didn't want to wait any longer from my sister's mom) it wasn't there!

I am reading it now, well actually not right now because I am online, but I am halfway through and it is good upto now, just hope it does not just fizzle out at the end.

I didn't think so...but then again it all a matter of personal opinion....I thought the book had a decent ending....I can't remember all of it but I remebered liking all of Destiny's Way.

I liked the book, the ending was OK too, a little unexpected at the very end.

Sweet is not what I'd have used, but I can see why you might think it.
